How Prince William Stole The Spotlight In New Kate Middleton Video

In August 2024, months after the announcement of Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales made a social media appearance alongside William, Prince of Wales ahead of the Paris Olympics closing ceremony.

The two royals congratulated the Great Britain sport teams for their performances in the event, with the video also featuring clips from figures like Snoop Dogg, David Beckham, and Kelly Holmes.

“From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB,” Kate said, standing next to her husband in an outdoor setting.

“Well done on all you’ve achieved,” Prince William added. “You’ve been an inspiration to us all.” While the clip marks a noteworthy glimpse of Kate, who made her first public appearance since her diagnosis at Trooping the Colour 2024, it was Prince William’s facial hair that really stole the spotlight.

Both on the list of royals who look completely different with facial hair, Prince Harry is the sibling most known for his beard, with William typically appearing clean-shaven in public. The relaxed appearance is likely related to the couple’s summer vacation, as they’ve both taken a step back from public duties to spend time with their children. While the internet loved the look, we’d be interested to know what Prince Harry thinks.
